Solve : CPU Dual core dilemma??

1.	Solve : CPU Dual core dilemma??
Answer» Ok here's another one After fixing my PC and getting it up and running i INSTALLED Vista 32 bit and i realised the CPU which is a AMD Athlonx2 4200 socket 939 is running most of the time one of the cores at full capacity whilst the other fluctuate. The result being that my games and some of my applications run slow. Is there any WAY i can adjust the CPU? Thankswhat is running on your computer do you know? Check the windows task manager to see what's hacking up so the most cpu. it might be that you might have to just disable a program or a background service or something...Upgrade to a am2 or am2+ cpu and motherboard and you will see a great improvement.Quote from: thebled on June 08, 2009, 01:08:57 AM Upgrade to a am2 or am2+ cpu and motherboard and you will see a great improvement. sure, upgrading would probably solve the PROBLEM. but the computer that Dougthedog has might just do well enough for his purposes if it gets FIXED and don't have to spend the $$ on the new processor if he doesn't have to.Not to mention the issue is probably a software issue, so replacing the CPU is just trying to sidestep the problem. Use a program called Process explorer to find out whats actually using up all your Cycles .. i had this problem before it was my Wireless network card Drivers were causing many Extra HARDWARE interrupts to fire using 50 - 90% of one core http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspxThx everyone I've decided to buy myself any Mobo.
